Bastop Co. (0.00 / 0)

has also begun the recruitment process, although we do have a number of Dem incumbents to support as well (Co Judge, a co commish, and all 4 JPs). Also actively working on a high-profile challenger for HD 17. We're looking to run a coordinated campaign this cycle as well, and hope to use Williamson Co. DPs work last year as a guide of sorts. Thanks for being trendsetters, guys!

Thats Awesome! (0.00 / 0)

I actually spoke to your County Chair...I think...a few months ago.  I had heard a story about a County Judge out there and some possible corruption with him and his office.

If you guys every want to share some notes about our 2008 coordinated and our plan for 2010 feel free to give me a call.  We managed a very minimalistic coordinated campaign last year...and we've got some big goals for 2010.

Keep up the good work!

doesn't sound right (5.00 / 1)

there is only one county judge in bastrop co. and he is way far away from "corrupt". whom ever you talked to gave you VERY bad information.

there was a county commissioner and the sheriff...but NOT Judge McDonald.

you might want to be careful throwing things around like that if you aren't 100%.

I meant a county judge, not the county judge.

My bad.

I think the story I heard and have since related to the Bastrop County Chair was about a CCAL Judge...I just said County Judge as a measure of informal speach...I didn't mean to upset you.

I usually call all the non-district judges "County Judges" and then the actual County Judge "The County Judge"...but perhaps you're right and I'll try to be more specific in the future.

Thanks KT! (0.00 / 0)

I can't say this enough...Williamson County is an amazing place to work.  There are so many great people up here who have been working so hard for over a decade...and now...finally...the demographics are changing and the time is right to win.

Our committee is really excited to take on the hard tasks that we have at hand.  But with a some hard work and a little bit of luck, we hope to run credible, funded, serious campaigns in 2010.

We're looking to reach out to every county party in SD-5, HD-20 and TX-31 to try to recruit the best possible candidate for each office.  Hopefully our coordinated efforts will reward Central Texas with a few more Democrats in office.  Within in the County we're especially focused on the County Commissioner Races (place 2/4) and some of the County Judicial Race (CCAL and Dist Judge).  The County Judge is also up for election...so we will be campaigning against two Gattis's at once!

Thanks KT and to BOR for the support from your neighbors to the north.
